A Song For Our Times

2004-11-09 John Winkelman

There’s no earthly way of knowing
Which direction we are going;
There’s no knowing where we’re rowing
Or which way the river’s flowing!
Is it raining, is it snowing?
Is a hurricane a-blowing?
Not a speck of light is showing
So the danger must be growing!
Are the fires of Hell a-glowing?
Is the grisly reaper mowing?
Yes, the danger must be growing
For the rowers keep on rowing;
And they’re certainly not showing
Any signs that they are slowing! –
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

HA HA!

The Call is Coming from Inside the Nash@Nash076

Yup, figured this would happen.

Musk is now trying to cobble together a consortium of buyers to prevent having to take a loan on his Tesla stock.

So he's not so much buying Twitter as loading Twitter with debt that can't be repaid. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/elon-musk-seeks-scrap-tesla-153641078.html

Truth

Patrick S. Tomlinson@stealthygeek

The GOP wants to end legal abortion for two reasons. First, because they hate women and want to enslave them.

But second is the babies. They need an endless supply of babies to traffic through adoption to evangelical couples. They need poor kids to become soldiers or prisoners.
